How big is Charlie, our education Screech Owl? Here are some pictures with feathers for comparison!

This photo is a Bald Eagle tail feather.

    To be fair, much like land-owls (cats, as they are sometimes referred), the shape of an owl is quite fluid. This guy looks squatted down and tucked in as far as he’ll go.

    I looked up the length of the RTH tail feather, and it and the owl should both be between 7-9 inches / 18-23 cm.

    Here’s a Screech using proper posture.
